click on the desktop to and select "Properties". Select the Tab for
"Settings". Change from your current display resolution to some other
resolution, then click back on your setting and hit "Apply". For

slide the bar back to 800x600 and click "Apply".).

the game may result in a crash, with the following error message,
"Server was Killed" (Workaround: Do not attempt to change resolutions,
once you've begun playing the game).

It will ask the location that Unreal was installed in. Type it in
or browse to it's directory (e.g. C:\Unreal).
